Privacy Policy
TaxQuarters is built so your tax figures never leave your device — our tools calculate entirely in your browser. This page explains the little we do collect (mainly: your email address, only if you choose to sign up for deadline reminders) and your rights over it.
Who we are
TaxQuarters is operated by Ascensial Ltd (company number 16089646), registered in England and Wales. Registered office: 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX. Ascensial Ltd is the data controller for this site — contact hello@taxquarters.co.uk.
What we collect, and why
The tools themselves collect nothing
Everything you type into a TaxQuarters calculator — income figures, dates, wave, results — is calculated in your browser and is never sent to us or stored anywhere. Closing the tab clears it.
If you sign up for deadline reminders
Email reminders aren't switched on yet. Once they are: if you choose to enter your email address, we'll send your email address, your MTD wave (1, 2 or 3) and your quarter basis (standard or calendar) to our email provider, MailerLite — never the income figures or dates you entered into a tool; reminders are matched to your situation using only the wave and quarter basis. You'll confirm your subscription by clicking a link in a confirmation email (double opt-in) before you receive anything else, and every reminder email will include a one-click unsubscribe link.
Site usage
Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, keeps standard technical logs (for example, IP address) for security and performance — this is already active, as it is for any hosted website. We also plan to use Google Analytics to understand overall site usage (pages visited, approximate location, browser type); when that's switched on, we'll update this section and the cookies section below.
Legal basis
- Deadline reminder emails: your consent, given when you sign up — withdraw it any time by unsubscribing.
- Basic hosting and security logs: our legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and running properly.
- Site-usage analytics: your consent, requested when we switch this on — see Cookies, below.
Who we share data with
- MailerLite (our email provider, once reminder emails are switched on) — only if you sign up for reminders. MailerLite is based in the EU (Lithuania), with UK and EEA customers served by MailerLite Limited, registered in Ireland; data is hosted in EU data centres (Germany and the Netherlands). Transfers from the UK to the EU are covered by the UK's data-protection adequacy regulations for the EEA, so no extra safeguards are needed. See MailerLite's own privacy policy.
- Cloudflare — our hosting provider, for standard technical and security logs.
- Google Analytics — once enabled, for aggregated site-usage statistics.
We never sell your data, and we never share it with software vendors or affiliate partners.
How long we keep it
Email addresses are kept for as long as you're subscribed. If you unsubscribe, we keep a record of your email on a suppression list rather than deleting it straight away — this is what stops you being re-added by mistake — for as long as we run this reminder service. If you'd rather we erased your email completely instead, see Your rights, below.
Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to: access the data we hold about you; have it corrected; ask us to delete it; restrict or object to how we use it; and take it elsewhere (portability). Email hello@taxquarters.co.uk and we'll act on it. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office if you think we've got something wrong.
Cookies
We don't use marketing or advertising cookies today. Once Google Analytics is switched on, it will set a small number of cookies to distinguish site visitors — we'll update this section and add a cookie-consent option at that point. If we introduce display advertising in future, the same applies: this policy will be updated first and consent requested where required.
Children
TaxQuarters is aimed at adults running a business or letting property, and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Changes to this policy
We'll update the "last reviewed" date below whenever this policy changes, and note anything material on this page.
